Skeletal muscle adaptations to long-term resistance training are typically attributed to increased size of muscle fibers. However, the possibility of changes in the number of muscle fibers and detailed myofibril structures remains less explored. This study aims to investigate these aspects by comparing muscle characteristics between individuals who have been engaged in long-term resistance training
Migraine is a complex neurological condition that not only disrupts daily life but also often comes with painful musculoskeletal complications. Most migraine sufferers—up to 76%—experience neck pain, which may be linked to hypertonic muscles in the neck and shoulders, including the upper trapezius muscle. These muscle issues contribute to the physical discomfort associated with migraines
A review published in the Journal of Physiological Sciences reviewedfundamental studies on muscular pain, encompassing the characteristics of primary afferent fibers and neurons, spinal and thalamic projections, several muscular pain models, and possible neurochemical mechanisms of muscle pain. Muscle pain, a common yet understudied phenomenon, affects a significant portion of the population, particularly those experiencing
